Even if you got it on line what good would it do you, I don't think it would save on anything.

it would allow me to fill it out at home and not at the consulate. Therefore I could arrive prepared.

Hate to say this, but you none of your prepartion will make it any faster IMHO. The most important thing you can take with you is patience, and be humble these two things will get you through faster than anything. The fastest I have ever been through is three trips some people take 5-7 and such unhappiness all caused by themselves.

I got mine in Oregon and it took approx. 1 month. Any papers you get on line will be a waste of time and effort. Renewals here in Loreto are a snap, just get a few copies done and wait a week. The office is staffed by a nice bunch of guys who have always gone out of there way to help.

Dan

You bring up a very good point their attitude, years ago a person dredded going into migration, now they are personable, helpful and efficient. After going in for so many years if I now forget a form they do it for me, they are great.

You have heard of a 'living will', well, Immigration in Mexico is a 'living list'. THEY keep the list. Pringing out a list and filing it will only be busy work. FM3's are a national document and should be the same everywhere. It will be different at every office go to. It is different here in San Felipe from say Loreto or La Paz. Like most people who have done it here recommend, go in to the Local Immigration and ask them how much and what is needed.

in ensenada


they do not have a pre-printed form of requirements. they grab a form, turn it to blank reverse and write what you need to bring. however, it is never complete. there are always a couple of forms they "forget" to write. like the man said, your patience is the most important "thing" to bring. it can drive you fawrkine nuts. and, oh yes. graciousness. next best thing to patience. being nice never hurts.

FM3 from Los Angeles Ca


I applied yesterday and was asked to fill out simple application. They also wanted a letter from my local Police department saying I was a good guy, 6 frontal and 6 side view passport photos which the took of me downstairs for a fee. the last thing they wanted was proof of funds which I supplied in the form of statements on cd accounts. I pick it up Wednesday.

I don't want to rain on your parade, but you have more hoops to jump through. You didn't mention payment, I don't know if you do that in CA or MX..Within 30 days after issuance of your papers in CA you must register your FM-3 at the local office of the INM providing proof of residency and possibly other things. The La Paz office is very professionaly staffed, but from what I've heard others don't have such a good reputation.

Good luck.

You pay when you pick it up. It's easier in San Diego: no letter to say you are a good person, and you pick it up the next day--or even the same day if you get there to apply right when they open.

Do you have a residence in Mexico yet? If you don't own a place and need to register ownership locally, why not just get it at your closest consulate? In San Diego, you apply one day (take copies of 6 mts. worth of bank statements) and pick it up the next. If you get there right when they open, you can even get it that afternoon just before they close. The application is a VERY simple one page document: name, address, birthday sort of thing. They'll take the pictures at the consulate......very easy.
